17 Chapter 17
Donna Troy was the clone made by magic to play with Diana during her childhood but during a kidnapping attempt, she had been taken instead of Diana.
After many things happened and she got involved with the Titans above but got her memories sealed and returned back to earth where she became a hero and side kick of Diana.
She didn't have any memory of her early childhood and her age looked smaller than Diana as such soon she got involved the Teen Titans and attended college.
Many things happened in a short time and Donna experienced tragedy after tragedy because of her choices.
Living on the Island, Donna felt free from worry and responsibilities but sometimes she couldn't help but feel the desire to go back and fight for justice.
It was a desire born through her experience with the people living on this world struggling to adapt to the changes.
It was the power within her that made her feel that she should do something instead of hiding but she was afraid, she was afraid of another incident happening.
It was a failure of a life time.
Her husband and children had died in that accident and she had been unable to save them.
No one had spoken about the hero business with her for a long time but Cassandra's question stung deep into her heart.
She didn't blame the kid as she didn't understand the pain of loss but it didn't help that it brought back bad memories.
Donna truly felt like a coward when looking at the little girl in front of her, reminding her of the wild times.
Truly she had fallen so low.
Was death of loved ones really enough to cripple someone?
Was it something they would want?
What do you gain from thinking about the painful moment instead of the good times?
What had she gained from running away?
Was she happy now?
"That's enough for now." Donna muttered as she took down Cassandra after a long battle
Her mind wouldn't stop asking her these questions and her mood was turning sour, which might lead to serious injuries for her sparring partner.
"Daughter, is there something you want to talk about?" Hippolyta walked towards the training area and met her on the way
"Nothing, I just need a bath." Donna said as she sped away like she was running from demons
'Sigh, why was fate so cruel to this child?' Hippolyta thought as she looked at the retreating back of her adopted daughter
She was just unlucky to suffer such a painful memory so early in life. Even Diana lost her lover after living for at least hundred years so she wasn't a child when it happened.
'I should ask Diana to talk to her and see if they can fix the problem now.' Thinking of such, she guided Cassandra who was brimming with energy since Zeus had asked her directly as he didn't like the fact she had been bested by a human child
'Immortals and their whims.'

Back at the YJ base, Naruto was sitting with Kushina as she taught him fuinjutsu while his clones were practicing wind style moves.
Naruto had decided to focus on his main element instead of playing around with all elements at the moment.
He was going to have basic control of all elements but his fighting style will only incorporate wind since adding too many things is never a good idea.
He didn't want to make a shitty ramen dish with all ingredients stuffed in and even the thought was nauseating so he only learned the jutsu for special circumstances while wind became his style.
With clones all the jutsu had been easy to learn since he had Kushina and Kurama to help, especially with his high chakra control level.
For now he was personally training his body physically while one clone was studying under Kushina while the rest were repeatedly controlling the wind.
It was unfortunate but he couldn't use his clones to study many things at once or risk his memories being jumbled up or even just losing everything he just learned.
His brain wasn't used to such high speed data transmission at the moment and would need time to adapt to such changes. He would also need to get the perfect memory skill or risk losing memories since using so many clones mean, hundred times the information and time being introduced to his mind.
The risk of losing his memories and getting mental damage kept him from taking the risk as he wasn't in such hurry or anything that he should take such a big step.
Nonetheless, the learning process of Asura's techniques was going well and even the adoption of Mokuton into his style was slowly taking place.
By the end of a month Naruto would have two powerful style of combat that could dominate the battlefield in different scenarios.
But Naruto preferred his own style as it was his personal creation and much more powerful, and versatile.
"Mom, you haven't shared what took you so long?" Naruto asked as he was copying down the seals that Kushina had shown him
He was once again memorizing new seals before understanding the concept of each of them.
"I sparred with your friend and talked with both of the girls to gather information and make friends. I realize that we need to adopt technology into our life if we want to cover up all bases as it is very versatile in this world. I am thinking of finding a way to convince Veritas to our side and I believe if we can free her from that trap zone then she would definitely join us."
"That's great but how are we going to do that? The time and space is in chaos in that area trapping Veritas so it's not something we can mess around with or the planet might collapse."
Kushina smiled as she pinched his cheeks, "You are underestimating our skills if you think we can't handle this problem. I already have knowledge about space and time while you have some on space. We can gather more about this topic from Zatanna and soon we can make proper seals.
We replicate the same affect happening below somewhere else and use our solution on that sample. If t works we use it on the real thing."
"Can it really be done?"
"Of course, you are already handling space and time when you use the storage seal. What did you think it was?"
"Ah, storage place. Okay, I never really thought about it."
"Storage seals use the basic concept of space and time and replicate the space around you into an alternative dimension that is connected to the seal.
You can modify it to have to contain the same time as the real world or have no time so the items are frozen in time when you store them.
But with our limited understanding we have been unable to use it on people and have we been unable to accelerate the time. It works perfectly on energy beings like the Bijuu, which is why our clan was hunted down as we were the ones that did the sealing. We had the power to break the seal and take down the beasts easily if given time.
The mere chance of this happening caused the massacre to take place as the villages didn't want to lose their weapon nor were they willing to allow someone that could break their weapons to walk freely.
This is the kind of world you are trying to fix. I won't berate for choosing such a noble but impossible goal but you need to the truth of everything around you before actually finalizing your steps. You are still a child that hasn't seen much so don't paralyze yourself and stress yourself with the suffering of others.
You are not responsible for them."
Naruto sat in silence for a moment as he stared into her eyes filled with love for him and worry, "I will keep that in mind. I am only a guide in the end and I will keep myself positive, never falling into stress and despair. This I promise."
"Good enough but regardless of what happens in the future, I will always help you stand up."
"Thank you mother. You know I thought it would be awkward and it is awkward outside of training but I still wouldn't have it another way."
"You think its awkward, think about my position here. I am 24 with a kid that's 8 year younger than me. Now that's awkward." Kushina chuckled as she slapped his back
���Hey guys, hope I am not disturbing you but do you want to visit an alien planet." BB's voice came from the door and both of their eyes shone
"Of course, wait a minute I am coming." Naruto replied as he stood up and with Kushina followed BB towards the Planet Rimbor where five members of the JL had been detained
